From Butterflies to Angels
A bi-weekly podcast where we have genuine, in-depth, and sometimes very emotional conversation about death and dying. You will hear heartfelt stories and profound insights as we walk through the death and dying journey together. Through these talks I hope to get you to thinking about death and dying in a different light. Death is an honorable, intimate, and sacred event. The only fact about life is death. Why not talk about it?
Host : Jennifer Owens; Certified Death Doula, NEDA Proficient
